Welcome to Castle Grove’s blog for Donegal Daily where we will share our plans for this year’s Strawberry Festival.
This Saturday, on the 7th July, Castle Grove will welcome friends, families and visitors from near and far to its second annual Strawberry Festival on the grounds of Castle Grove Country House Hotel.
The Strawberry Festival is part of the Donegal Food Coast Initiative and is a celebration of all things “Strawberry”.
Donegal Food Coast Initiative aim to create awareness within Donegal and nationally of the range of quality food producers and providers in the county and the role they play for the local economy, while developing awareness of Donegal as a destination for exceptional food experiences.
As a proud promoter of Donegal businesses, Castle Grove will also be participating in the Taste of Donegal Festival in Donegal Town in August and Off the Street LK food festival in Letterkenny. These events will attract visitors on the Wild Atlantic Way to Donegal and Letterkenny.
With weeks of planning nearing an end, we are delighted to announce the plans for our Strawberry Festival on the 7th July from 1pm-5pm.
So, bring along your friends and family to enjoy an afternoon of Castle Grove Hospitality with:
